Max Cekot Kitchen
Latvia's first Michelin-starred restaurant, housed in an old red-brick warehouse, offering only a surprise tasting menu.
Located on the outskirts of Riga in an old red-brick warehouse, this is the first restaurant in Latvia to receive a Michelin star. Guests first enjoy drinks and appetizers downstairs before climbing a narrow spiral staircase to the dining area; the furniture and tableware are all designed by the head chef. The surprise menu combines multiple elements in each dish, such as langoustine with pumpkin and home-grown petunias. The 15-course tasting menu is 220 EUR per person, and the 4-seat Chef's Table is 350 EUR per person, with a dining time of about 3 hours. Open only on Thursday to Saturday evenings, reservation and prepayment are required. The restaurant has a parking lot but is far from the Old Town, so taking a taxi is recommended.
Opening hours
Thu-Sat 18:00–23:00, closed on other days
